This is how the Divergent series ends: not with a bang, but with a TV movie.

Ascendant, the final installment of the Y.A. franchise starring Shailene Woodley and Theo James, will air on television rather than as a theatrical release, according to Variety. It will also serve as a possible funnel into a Divergent spin-off TV series. Ascendant will introduce new characters who will be spun off into the follow-up show, which will be set in the same dystopian world as the rest of the franchise. A home network or streaming service has not been announced, though Lionsgate Television has previously produced series for networks as diverse as Netflix, OWN, Starz, and TBS. A Lionsgate spokesperson denied Vanity Fair’s request for comment.

This won’t be the first time a Y.A. series made the move from big to small screen. In 2013, fantasy saga The Mortal Instruments got a film adaptation starring Lily Collins and Jamie Campbell Bower—but the movie flopped, making a little over $9 million in its first weekend. The sequel, City of Ashes, was promptly cancelled. The series was then reimagined as a TV show, titled Shadowhunters, debuting its first season this past January on Freeform. The show has fared better than the movie did; it’s already been renewed for a second season.

Ascendant was originally supposed to hit theaters next June, but the weak performance of the franchise’s last installment, Allegiant, proved the need for a different release model. Allegiant, which opened last March, only made about $29 million in its opening weekend, a spectacularly weak showing for a franchise attempting to fill the studio’s gargantuan Hunger Games void. Despite its stacked cast, including rising stars Ansel Elgort and Miles Teller and famous faces like Octavia Spencer, Jeff Daniels, and Naomi Watts,Allegiant also got pretty harsh reviews—and a Metacritic score of just 33.

Next June, Ascendant would have opened the same weekend as World War Z 2 and The Mummy reboot starring Tom Cruise. Yeah—perhaps it’s best to sit this one out.
